The Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) Team is a support unit, whose primary functions are traffic enforcement and assisting in the apprehension of drug traffickers in the county.

The ACE team conducts driving while impaired and driver’s license checkpoints, as well as street-level investigations on controlled substances. The ACE team works with the sheriff’s office K-9 Enforcement Team and Drug Enforcement Unit to apprehend narcotics suspects as well as saturating hot spots where criminal activity is reported.

The K-9 enforcement team answers calls, conducts driver’s license checkpoints and assists with other agencies when K-9s are needed.

From May 25-31, deputies with the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Enforcement Team answered 21 calls and wrote 13 uniform citations, including driving while license revoked, no operator’s license, revoked registration, child restraint violations and drug charges.

Citing the need to be closer to his family and the demands of his job, State Rep. Bonner Stiller, R-Oak Island, announced Tuesday he is resigning from the seat in the N.C. House of Representatives he has held since 2002.

Stiller will officially vacate his position in Raleigh on June 15, he said, and will be available to help his successor to make a “super-smooth transition” into office during state budget deliberations.

The Board of Education voted 4-1 Wednesday to keep the Transition Academy in operation for the 2009-2010 school year, with its funding source to be determined.

The possibility of closing the program was first introduced in March, and the board has been debating the issue since. The Transition Academy, aimed to help at-risk eighth-graders, offers smaller class sizes, more hands-on activities and individualized attention.

A student from a New Hanover County school who lives in Brunswick County has been treated for swine flu, according county health director Don Yousey.

Yousey said his department contacted the New Hanover County department and learned the young man, a student at the Gregory School of Math and Science, was sent home and given the proper medicine about two weeks ago.

Last week, the test came back positive. By that time, he had already been treated, Yousey explained.
